One More Thing
I know I already posted about my injured arm this week, but, well, it's still on my mind.
Meeting with my surgeon stresses me out beyond reason. I get SO anxious. I get really preoccupied for days after. And worst of all, it bums me out.
I've been doing a lot of research on my surgery options. Thinking lots about whether I want to leave my arm as is or get the radial head part of my elbow removed. If I leave it as is, there's a high chance I'll have to get the screws removed because they will interfere with the rest of my elbow joint when I get full range of motion back.
But it's not likely the screws can be taken out without the bone falling apart. So even if I leave it as is, I may have to get the bone taken out anyway. But waiting a year to find out isn't an option either. For best results, the surgery should happen as soon as possible.
So far in my research, I've come across studies that show your elbow can remain completely stable without the radial head. But other accounts reported a shortening of the forearm, a crooked wrist, excess pressure on the ulna, and a whole lot of pain.
The good news is that besides my original surgeon in Ottawa, my dad found me another orthopedic surgeon in Halifax to consult. So I should have three skilled opinions on the matter in the coming weeks.
Until then, I will try not to lose my mind.
My mom asked me if she could see the my x-rays all together. This does not represent all the ones I've had. In the last three months, I've had about 12 x-rays and 2 CT scans.
February 25th? I can't remember, I was high on painkillers.
March 25.
May 24. Looks slightly better than the March shot, but it's at a different angle, so it's hard to tell. You can definitely see how the screws may get in the way here.
For reference, here's what a healthy elbow looks like. My forearm is twisted because I can't rotate my palm up for the x-rays, so the radial head is rotated differently in the "normal" ones.
Mine again on May 24…
And the normal one…
Anyways, thank you for indulging me once again. It helps a lot to get this stuff out of my brain so I can stop stressing about it.
On the bright side (because I always have to look at it) I am still making progress. My physio tells me it's important to keep working at it even if I have to get operated on again because the more progress I make before, the better I'll be after. Today I was able to pick up 10lbs for the first time with my left hand. I used a big girl dumbbell!
Despite the frustrations surrounding my limitations, I am still an otherwise healthy, active person. I've got my two legs after all! Which means lots and lots of walks with Archie and the fam.
One other good thing is that it's a long weekend for me! I get American holidays with my new job. There's actually a lot of difference between Canadian and American holidays. For example, everyone had Victoria Day off this past Monday, except for me. BUT, that means I get Memorial Day off! I feel like I need to celebrate like the Americans do, so I'm going to have some fun in the kitchen.
You won't ever see me drink a Budweiser though. Ew.
Have a great weekend!!

Miguel Angel Jimenez, who was 48 when he won last year's Hong Kong Open, was introduced on the Crans-sur-Sierre practice range on Wednesday to Ye Wo-cheng, who was 12 in May when he contested his home China Open and has since had another birthday.
Jimenez, the 2010 European Masters winner, was at odds with a sponsor's decision to give Ye an invitation to compete this week.
"It is nice to see that golf is interesting no matter what the age but for me, a 13-year-old competing against professionals is a little a bit too young," he said.
"People want to start things too early and a 13-year-old should be playing alongside other 13-year-olds and not players averaging 33 years of age."
"No doubt the sponsor wants publicity for the tournament but then it seems you have to go looking for under-age players to promote yourself.
"I'm sorry, this should not be allowed.
"They should not be pushing kids his age too hard as it could have a disastrous effect on their careers.
"I hope he enjoys himself this week but then I saw him hitting practice balls this morning and he looked very nervous, and he should not be in that position."
Ye will play the opening two rounds in the company of 35-year-old Martin Wiegele of Austria and 43-year-old Mathias Gronberg of Sweden, the champion in 1995.
Gronberg disagrees with Jimenez, as he saw the promotional worth of having the teenager in the field.
"It's going to be awesome playing with the young fellow and I will look forward to it," the Swede said.
"It is where the game is at the present time and, as golfers, we are in the entertainment business and it's a sport there for the crowds.
"I am sure there will be hundreds of thousands of Chinese people that will tune into the golf on TV this week just to watch and follow Ye.
"So it would be absolutely silly not to market that opportunity.
"I am sure the (US) Masters officials were pleased and happy when that 14-year old (Guan Tianlang), also from China, did so well to make the cut and then finish the leading amateur.
"I had the same view when Michelle Wie played up here (on the men's tour at 14) because it is sponsors who pay our salary."

He understands that's what I desire. He desires it too, and we talk about having a woman. There are too lots of politics that will result from making our love authorities.
I are worthy of every minute of solitude and questioning if life is even worth living if I have to continue this method.
Is it Your intent that another fantastic, ideal male entered my life? Every part of my life has actually been included with his life. I like him, however I can not bare the concept that our love will never ever bloom into something genuinely symbolic: a household.
Erotic Rub and Tug Massage
I sit here, with cash, product abundance ... whatever I believed I constantly desired. What is missing out on in my life are things that cash can not purchase. I should have every minute of isolation and questioning if life is even worth living if I have to continue this method.
Numerous traditional tales highlight the discomfort of a prohibited relationship, such as the traditional tale of Laila and Majnon in Persian/Indian/Arabic Folktales. An outstanding Bollywood movie that depicts such prohibited love is, "Veer Zaara," where Veer and Zaara are extremely much like Laila and Majnon. The tune listed below (in 2 parts) from the movie has effective lyrics that highlight the strength of love and grief.
I do not desire to think of the repercussions of our love. If our love stays, then we lose love in other methods.
Every part of my life has actually been included with his life. I enjoy him, however I can not bare the concept that our love will never ever bloom into something genuinely symbolic: a household.
I do not desire to picture the effects of our love. If our love stays, then we lose love in other methods. It makes me saddened to envision having a kid experience the very same life I did ... the very same situations and ideologies that indoctrinated me to think that being 'independent' and 'attractive' was something to accept, when in truth it lead me into prostitution and cash dependency.

Groundhog Day
Now that Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow on February 2, 2012, will that mean six more weeks until economic collapse?
Groundhog Day: It has long been a national event based on daft prognostication and sheep-headed superstition to distract the masses. The celebration of Punxsutawney Phil's rising from the burrow in the Pennsylvania town that is his namesake gives reason to hoot, holler, and become intoxicated. But do American's need a reason for the aforementioned?
Based on folklore, there will be six more weeks of winter because the groundhog named Phil saw his shadow. Does Punxsutawney Phil even know that he saw his shadow? Does he have an inkling as to what a shadow is? What does PETA think of the poor groundhog being exploited in this manner?
Despite the mild weather pattern that has settled over much of the U.S., there will be six more weeks of winter as Spring officially begins in the Northern Hemisphere on March 20, 2012, at 1:14 A.M. Punxsutawney Phil is not a meteorologist, and yet we had better steel ourselves and prepare to trudge and shovel our way through whatever snow may fall between now and the first day of spring; and for the snow that will likely fall once spring has sprung.
The groundhog can't tell us when the economy's coming collapse will take place, but do we need a soothsayer in the guise of a furry animal to provide us with this information? We can see the signs as the hostilities with Iran crawl toward the Rubicon. Don't be fooled by the "good talks" between the former Persia and the IAEA. These talks are but a crafty ruse used to pacify the gullible as neither the IAEA or Iran can be trusted. Israel does not have the luxury of time to wait and America knows this as well – as nuclear submarine USS Annapolis and the destroyer USS Momsen enter the Red Sea.
The powers that be are playing chess and the world is the game board. Romney, Gingrich, Obama, and Punxsutawney Phil are all icons to distract us from seeing the hands that maneuver the pawns, bishops, rooks, and knights. Through the lies and deception, this writer is glad that he knows the truth…
…But for now I'll say what you want to hear: Happy Groundhog Day!

I couldn't decide what I wanted to draw for the halloween theme. I didn't really want to do a traditional halloween creature so I decided to go in blind. There was some flourecent purple paint on my desk last night so I squirted some on and made a blob with some legs. I decided just to keep it a blob and just give it some crust, some boobs, a buldge, a perplexed glance, and some thick coils of chest hair. I use this technique quite frequently to brainstorm on the fly. It's fun to stare at the fill-in and imagine what's inside of it. So because of his shape and color some people were saying that he looked like a drug addicted cancer grimace. Others said it resembled a testicle. How would you describe this pimply sack of a creature?
I have been researching reborn dolls. They're pretty fucking creepy. They go for up to $1600 on ebay. On another note, look at this falcon. What would you think if you saw this thing on your walk to work? It's like some false idol of the South, a true American mascot.

There is mounting evidence that vitamin D plays an important role in reducing risk of developing cardiovascular disease as well as the diseases that often precede it such as diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease. The category cardiovascular disease includes coronary heart disease (heart attack), stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and congestive heart failure.
Several observational studies found that those with low vitamin D levels had increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease in general and stroke, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, and peripheral arterial disease in particular. The evidence is largely from observational studies that enroll people in a study and take blood samples at that time, then follow them for several years, noting any adverse health outcomes.Risk reduces rapidly for increases of vitamin D levels above the lowest values, then more slowly as vitamin D levels reach about 40 ng/ml.
To reach this level takes 1000-4000 IU/day vitamin D3depending on a number of factors.
Vitamin D also reduces risk of several diseases that often lead to cardiovascular disease such as diabetes mellitus and, likely,chronic kidney disease.
It has also been proposed that vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor forerectile dysfunction since about half of the cases of erectile dysfunction have vascular causes.
The mechanisms whereby vitamin D reduces risk of these diseases include reducing inflammation and the risk of arterial stiffness.Vitamin D also helps maintain insulin sensitivity for proper control of glucose. There issome evidence that vitamin D reduces levels of triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, and hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C). It is not clear whether vitamin D affects blood pressure.

Still image from the documentary Transcendent Man (2009), featuring Ray Kurzweil.
Bills, letters, clothes, books, records, photos, DNA samples—these are some of Fredric Kurzweil's personal effects, collected and stored by his son Ray, who will one day use this material to bring his father (who died when Ray was 22) back to life. Cataloged in a temperature-controlled room in Kurzweil's own home, this material betrays a personal basis for the noted futurist's most famous fixation: triumph over death.[1]
Kurzweil's home could be an off-site extension of A Museum of Immortality, which opened at Ashkal Alwan in Beirut last Wednesday. Organized by Anton Vidokle and based on a curatorial concept by Boris Groys, the exhibition takes its inspiration from Kurzweil's now obscure predecessor in the field, Russian cosmist and theologian, Nikolai Fedorov. In the mid-1800s, Fedorov beseeched humanity to join together in "The Common Task": resurrecting every human being who has ever walked the Earth. Both a devout Christian and proto-transhumanist, Fedorov believed that controlling the forces of nature and exploring the far reaches of space carried out God's will. For Federov (as for Kurzweil) death is an obstacle which technology must overcome.

National Indigenous Women's Federation (NIWF) is looking for the capable and responsible candidates for different post. (Click Here For Details)
In Nepal, Advasi Janajati Women have bitter experiences of inherent structure of patriarchy and dominated by political systems. Social exclusion based on gender has for centuries been an important part of the Nepali milieu. Similarly, social exclusion based on ethnicity has been another reality in Nepal. Thus, Indigenous nationalities Women face social exclusion not only because of them being women, but also because of their ethnicity. Women comprise 51.48 percent out of which 35.5 percent are Adivasi Janajati. Indigenous women comprise around 18 percent of total population. It is a fact that the state has not recognized the "identity" of indigenous women. They have been deprived from policy making process and has included them under the general term "Nepali women" In addition; Indigenous women are marginalized and excluded from the mainstreaming national development. They have suffer triple form of discrimination, First for being women, secondly for being indigenous, thirdly being indigenous women.National Indigenous Women's Federation (NIWF) is a Kathmandu based umbrella organization of Adivasi Janajati (Indigenous Nationalities) specific indigenous women's organizations. The multiple roles that Nepalese Indigenous womem contribute to maintain preserve, conserve and promote the distinct identity of Indigenous peoples. Their language, culture, skills, tradition,custom and knowledge in management of community resources are distinct.

NEW YORK, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- "Being Mandela," a new reality show starring Nelson and Winnie Mandela's granddaughters, is to debut on U.S. television next month, producers said.
The 30-minute, weekly show will premiere Feb. 10 on COZI TV, a new network developed by the NBC Owned Stations division of NBCUniversal.
The series will follow Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway and Swati Dlamini -- the South African-born granddaughters of anti-apartheid activists Nelson and Winnie Mandela -- as they run their own clothing line called "Long Walk to Freedom."
"We are so excited to welcome Zaziwe and Swati to the COZI TV lineup," Meredith McGinn, vice president of multi-station local programming for NBC Owned Television Stations, said in a statement Monday. "Along with our iconic TV series and hit movies, we know that our original programming like 'Being Mandela' will inspire viewers to try out COZI TV and keep them coming back for more."
"This show is about us and our lives -- both as individuals and as members of the Mandela family," said Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway and Swati Dlamini in a joint statement. "It offers a window on how far we have come to reestablish our lives. We are excited to share our story and hopefully viewers will be able to appreciate how universal the human story is."
Nelson Mandela, 94, was imprisoned from 1962-1990. Upon his release, he was elected president of South Africa and served from 1994-1999. He retired from public life in 2004 and was last seen in public in 2010, when he attended the closing ceremonies of the World Cup in Johannesburg.
Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway and Swati Dlamini spent much of their youth in exile in the United States while their grandfather was imprisoned. They returned to South Africa as teenagers upon their grandfather's release from prison.

I know I'm a bit of a Johnny-come-lately to coconut oil, but I picked up a jar and decided to give it whirl this past weekend to find out what all the buzz was about. I made banana bread, following a fool-proof recipe that I've used for years and simply replacing the called for melted butter with coconut oil. The results were fantastic–moist, a nice, light texture, and a delicious subtle but definitely present coconut flavor.
Here's the recipe I followed:
2 cups flour–I usually use unbleached white, but I've made it with whole wheat flour, as well as a gluten-free blend of a few other flours and it's still tasty and the ratios work.
1 cup sugar–I usually use brown sugar or a mix of brown and white
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3 super ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup unrefined virgin coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
2. Combine mashed bananas and other wet ingredients in a separate bowl. When I make this recipe with butter, I melt the butter first and then add it to the other wet ingredients, smashing the bananas and mixing everything together with a fork . When I subbed in coconut oil, which is semi-solid at room temp, I didn't melt the oil first, but used a hand-held immersion blender to mix it into the wet ingredients and really mash up the bananas.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and stir until combined.
4. Grease (I used coconut oil) and flour a loaf pan, transfer the batter to the pan, and bake at 350 F for about 1 hour until the top is golden brown and a tooth pick comes out clean.
Next experiment–tossing popcorn with a tablespoon or so of melted coconut oil. Have you tried cooking or baking with it yet? What did you think?

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Now even Alex Dunphy wants to be a country singer? I can see why, I guess. It's not the Dunphy character, per se, but the real Ariel Winter doing an excellent job singing Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" right there in her living room, with just a sideman playing guitar. Winter is only 14, and she sounds it, which is perfect for this kind of twisted little song. And maybe she's not even thinking of going country. But I do know she has a passion for singing because she has already released a couple of songs on iTunes — "Fallen" and "Banished" — back in 2010. And she and her best friend have a band called Wicked Sweet. What I'd love to see next is Winter's genius, good girl Dunphy work Swift into a Modern Family storyline.

Your View: Your View\'s Purpose
Related Story
COLUMBIA - A few weeks ago, KOMU 8 News received a call from a viewer fussing about the way Your View was presented.
It was about our insistence that no matter what the entertainment program, we must break in to report breaking weather alerts -- break in in great detail.
"I would like to point out what a shoddy piece of journalism it is to call something the your view section and then explain y'alls point of view on why you think its appropriate to interrupt programming for three hours for your endless self promotion during this storm watch for our area; I am using air quotes. Ridiculous. That's not anyone's view but your all's. Obscene. Not journalism."
We reached out to this viewer to ask how we can improve the Your View segment, but she did not return our calls.
MU Journalism Professor Kent Collins created Your View over a decade ago and says the segment was started to try to encourage our viewers to participate in the conversation about the news.
Collins also said there are areas where KOMU can improve the Your View segment.
"We need to be careful in the management of KOMU not to take those comments, and some of them are complaints, and shove them back and say you don't understand this is why we did it. We should help with transparency and explain why we did it. But never suggest that our way of doing it is the only way it should be done."
Executive Editor of The Columbia Missourian Tom Warhover says The Missourian uses a similar communication method called Dear Reader to interact with readers.

Rolex watches are icons of luxury like a Porsche, Chanel dress, or Louis Vuitton bag. The secret to this manufacturer's success lies in their consistency: The design of the Rolex Oyster series has barely changed over the decades. Improvements to minute details are often only noticeable upon second glance. This strategy has allowed the watches to become classics, making them easily recognizable and raising their collector's value. These watches retain their value in large part due to this timeless and consistent design. The situation is similar for other well-known Rolex models such as the Daytona, Day-Date, Datejust, and Submariner.
Rumor has it that the Geneva-based manufacturer sells approximately one million watches each year, meaning they turn over almost two and a half billion USD. They also introduce more gold into circulation than any other watch manufacturer.
Rolex's reputation is also supported by the fact that they've remained independent and their watches are almost fully crafted in-house. Many other well-known watch manufacturers belong to large concerns. Another secret to their success is their discreet company policy: Tours of their factory workshop are rare, the CEOs seldom give interviews, and their annual profits are kept private.
If you view luxury watches as an investment, Rolex is the right brand for you. The Genevan manufacturer sits as the pinnacle of the Swiss luxury watch industry and embodies power and prestige like no other manufacturer. A Rolex is a safe bet. Well-kept models only increase in value over time. Rare, vintage models go for five, six, or even seven figures at auction. In 2017, Paul Newman's own Daytona sold for a record price of 17.75 million USD, or about 15.3 million EUR, at an auction in New York. Even though it was not in the best condition, it is still one of the most important collector's watches from the last century.

The Rolex Submariner ref. 114060 is one of the most famous watches in the world. The three-hand model without a date display costs around 7,900 USD in mint condition. Pre-owned pieces cost about 500 USD less. A never-worn Submariner Date with a date display and the reference number 116610LN comes in at around 9,300 USD. Pre-owned models cost about 8,600 USD. The "Red Sub" with the reference number 1680 is a highly-coveted vintage Submariner and demands prices of about 18,500 USD pre-owned. The COMEX Version, developed by Rolex for the French company Compagnie martitime d'expertises, is also sought-after. Prices for this model often reach sums of 37,000 USD.
Watch collectors aren't just enamored with vintage Rolexes, but also with the green Submariner models known as "Hulk" and "Kermit". The Hulk ref. 116610LV has a green bezel and green dial. It costs about 11,100 USD in mint condition and about 10,200 USD pre-owned. Only the bezel is green on the Kermit with the reference number 16610LV . The dial is black, which is in line with the standard Submariner dials. Set aside around 16,000 USD for a never-worn Kermit model. Pre-owned watches are markedly more affordable at about 11,000 USD, though this is still more expensive than the stainless steel Submariner Date with a black bezel.
The stainless steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is one of the best investments you could make in the watch sector. Released in 2016, the model with the reference number 116500LN is so popular among watch fans that long wait times are par for the course when purchasing from offline retailers. Purchasing online is faster, though it is also more expensive. The official list price is 14,000 USD, whereas a never-worn stainless steel Daytona on Chrono24 demands around 20,500 USD. Pre-owned models are only slightly less expensive, making them a solid investment. The ref. 116500LN has a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel. Thanks to its use of the in-house caliber 4130, it also boasts a 72-hour power reserve.
Its predecessor ( ref. 116520) has a stainless steel bezel and is powered by the same in-house 4130 movement. Before the introduction of the new Daytona in 2016, it officially cost 13,500 USD. Only a few years after its production ended, this sports watch with a stopwatch function was already selling for 15,400 USD pre-owned. If you are looking for a never-worn model, plan to spend over 19,100 USD.
The model released in 1988 is also highly sought-after. It is powered by the caliber 4030, based on the Zenith El Primero. The price for a pre-owned Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with the reference number 16520 comes in at almost 23,400 USD. The so-called "Paul Newman" Daytona is especially rare. The only difference to other Daytonas from the 1960s and 1970s is the dial. In terms of technology, watches from this time period are all identical. You will need to have at least 123,400 USD on hand for a Paul Newman Daytona. If you're not particularly interested in the famous dial, you can get a Daytona from the 1960s starting at 55,500 USD.
Models with 18-karat yellow, white, or rose gold — also called Everose gold by Rolex — (ref. 116508) are generally more expensive than the stainless steel models due to their material value. That being said, they are significantly more affordable online than their list price. The official list price is around 42,500 USD, but you can get a mint-condition gold Rolex Daytona on Chrono24 for as little as 30,200 USD. The bicolor models in stainless steel and gold are a bit of an insider's tip. You can find pre-owned watches with the reference number 116503 starting at 14,700 USD, while those in mint condition cost around 15,800 USD. Older versions from the 1990s can even be purchased for under 11,200 USD.
Anyone who bought a Rolex Sea-Dweller in the last few years can look forward to appreciating prices. This is due to the fact that certain reference numbers are no longer in production, thus making them harder to find. The ref. 16600 was manufactured for a relatively long period of time, from 1988 to 2008. It was then replaced by the much larger 44-mm Sea-Dweller Deepsea.
Over the last 10 years, prices for a ref. 16600 have consistently increased. A pre-owned model that demanded 4,900 USD in 2008 now goes for around 7,800 USD. New watches are even rarer and therefore cost about 11,500 USD. The Deepsea with the reference number 116660 is water resistant to 3,900 m (390 bar, 12,795 ft) and has a list price of 13,600 USD. However, the same watch only costs around 12,700 USD online. Even though this is less than the official list price, its value has still skyrocketed in the last five years.
In 2014, Rolex released yet another 40-mm model with the ref. 116600. It was only in production for three years before it was replaced by the 43-mm 50th anniversary model with the ref. 126600 in 2017. This resulted in an abrupt spike in prices for the former model. Never-worn models that had cost 10,500 USD prior to Baselworld 2017, quickly rose in price to around 13,200 USD in October 2017. The most recent Sea-Dweller now features the Cyclops lens over the date display, a characteristic of the Submariner, and costs almost 14,700 USD in mint condition. If you'd rather buy your watch online to avoid the long wait times in offline retailers, be prepared to spend a good 1,800 USD more.
A Rolex is more than just a piece of jewelry on your wrist. These watches represent a long tradition of technical developments. The history of this unique watch manufacturer reads more like an encyclopedia of horology. The original Oyster model was introduced in 1926 and was the world's first water-resistant and dustproof wristwatch. It remains the ultimate classic to this day.
The watch is water resistant thanks to a hermetically sealed case, screw-down crown, and synthetic watch glass that fits firmly in the case. To prove its water resistance, the manufacturer decided to display the Oyster ticking away in a fishbowl filled with goldfish. In 1927, another marketing opportunity presented itself: British swimmer Mercedes Gleitze swam for more than 10 hours through the English Channel with an Oyster. Although she failed to complete her swim, the watch survived.
On January 23rd, 1960, the deep-diving bathyscaphe Trieste reached the bottom of the Challenger Deep with a special passenger on board: Rolex's Deep Sea Special . The watch had been specially designed for the dive and was attached to the outside of the bathyscaphe. It handled the extreme conditions of the ocean floor impressively well, functioning perfectly even at a depth of 10,916 meters (35,814 ft) . This proved the Swiss watch manufacturer's capabilities. Rolex repeated this test in 2012, attaching the experimental Rolex Deepsea Challenge diving watch to the robotic arm of the Deepsea Challenger. It reached a depth of 10,908 meters (35,787 ft). This watch is water resistant up to 12,000 meters (39,370 ft) and can withstand up to 1,500 bar of pressure.
Rolex's watch designers had already expressed their passion for the sea in 1953. That year, the company presented one of the first diving watches, the highly sought-after Submariner. The original watch, nicknamed "the diver's friend," was water resistant to 100 meters (328 ft) thanks to its Twinlock crown. It featured a black matte dial and a bi-directional rotating bezel. The bezel allowed divers to time their dives to the minute. At the time, Rolex was a pioneer in the field of diving watches, as recreational diving wasn't yet widespread.
Former Rolex director René-Paul Jeanneret was an avid recreational diver and gave valuable input regarding the design of the hands, dial, and case. The watch survived various tests and a total of 132 dives. Supposedly, the watch was even dropped from a height of two meters onto a concrete dock. The watch still functioned; the drop only caused a piece of the luminous material to fall off one of the hands. The successor to the first Submariner was water resistant to 200 meters (656 ft) and was made the official watch of the English, Canadian, and Australian marines.
Another milestone in Rolex's history occurred in the same year that the Submariner was introduced. Mountain climbers Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay struggled over rubble and ice to reach the top of Mt. Everest at a height of 8,848 meters (29,029 ft). According to reports, both climbers wore the Oyster Perpetual. Whether they had them on at the top or not is disputed. However, Rolex was one of the official sponsors of this Everest expedition led by Colonel Sir John Hunt. The manufacturer presented the Oyster Perpetual Explorer in 1953 in celebration of the undertaking and to honor the summiteers.
The Rolex Daytona quickly established itself as one of the manufacturer's most sought-after and successful automatic watches. However, the sports chronograph was a slow seller at the beginning of its career in the early 1960s. Actor and car racer Paul Newman and Formula One racing driver Jackie Stewart both helped transform the watch into an icon in no time at all. Versions with a contrasting second subdial received the nickname "Paul Newman" in the 1980s and are considered particularly valuable collector's items. The watch's name comes from the legendary Daytona Beach circuit in Florida. The city is the capital of record-breaking speeds: Between 1904 and 1935, 14 speed records were recorded there. Five of them were made by Sir Malcolm Campbell, who wore a Rolex on his wrist.
The history of this watch manufacturer began back in 1905. Hans Wilsdorf, a German, founded the watch wholesaler Wilsdorf & Davis in London together with Alfred Davis. Davis oversaw the production of watch cases, while Wilsdorf obtained the necessary movements from the Biel-based company Aegler. In 1908, they trademarked the name Rolex. The catchy name most likely comes from "rolling export," but there is no solid proof of this. Gradually, the company began to add their name to the dials — an unusual practice at the time. Instead, it was customary to only include the retailer's name on the dial, if anything at all. The short brand name allowed enough space for the name of the retailer, enabling Wilsdorf to bring more watches bearing their own company name into circulation. It would be 19 years before Rolex was the sole writing found on the dials, cases, and movements.
The five-point crown became a symbol of the brand in 1925. The story behind the development of the logo remains a secret. Experts suspect that the five-pointed crown stands for the five fingers of a watchmaker or the letters in Rolex. The crown logo and the name Rolex have appeared on every dial, crown, and clasp since 1939.
Revolutionaries Che Guevara and Fidel Castro also recognized and appreciated the qualities of Rolex. It's not known whether the robustness of the watch helped the Cuban Revolution of 1959, but Che and Fidel certainly contributed to the brand's myth. No other watch manufacturer has managed to appeal to such a wide variety of customers as Rolex. These range from the Dalai Lama to television host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres.
Rolex calibers made in-house are considered to be especially precise. Each watch comes with a certificate from the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). The COSC measures the precision of a movement in five different positions and three different temperatures based on a standardized testing method. The entire testing process lasts 15 days. In addition to the COSC tests, Rolex tests all of their watches in-house once the movement is in its case. A watch can only pass their test if it has a maximum deviation of +/- 2 seconds per day .
Rolex founder Wilsdorf also valued precision back at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1910, he sent a watch to a local watchmaking school in Biel so it could be evaluated. The movement was subjected to a 14-day test, which it passed. At the end of this two-week procedure, the testers issued the world's first wristwatch chronometer certificate and sent it to London.
The next sensation followed only four years later: Wilsdorf sent an Aegler movement to the National Physical Laboratory in London. The caliber passed their tests with flying colors. It was subjected to three different temperature conditions and five different positions: crown facing up, left, and right, and dial face down and face up. After 45 days, the watch, with its golden case and blue enamel bezel, was named the first wristwatch in history to receive a class A certification. This type of certification was previously only awarded to larger watches, such as navy chronometers.
By the beginning of the 1950s, Rolex had proven that robust movements and watch cases were part of their repertoire. An impressive example of this is the Milgauss from 1956. Like its name suggests, it can withstand magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss. Its name is a combination of the abbreviation for the French word for a thousand, "mille," and the last name of the German physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss. The European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) officially confirmed this resistance on August 10th, 1970. Thanks to the automatic caliber 1065 M, with its soft iron inner case and other anti-magnetic components, the watch functioned well despite the presence of magnetic fields. The watch was a blessing for engineers, power plant operators, and many others who worked in close contact with magnetic fields. This highly coveted collector's watch features green shimmering sapphire glass, a red triangle on the bezel, and a distinctive lightning bolt-shaped second hand.
Whether new or vintage, whenever you buy a Rolex, you're buying more than just a watch. Rolex has been the undisputed number one in the world of luxury watches for decades and is among the most well-known brands. Rolex stands for top quality Swiss watchmaking, harmonious designs, and stable value – qualities that are highly valued in the watchmaking scene. Rolex has something for everyone's taste. Platinum, 18-karat solid gold, and an aesthetic design represent the prestige embodied by Rolex. The stainless steel models are perfect for those searching for robustness, simple functionality, and a companion for years to come.

Panda's three HRs lead Giants' long-ball party
Crawford, Pence, Sanchez also go yard to beat Padres in road-trip finale
SAN DIEGO -- Over the last few months, the struggling Giants haven't done much to invoke memories of their 2012 title run. But Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval might have been feeling a little nostalgic Wednesday.
In the Giants' 13-5 win over the Padres, Sandoval mashed three home runs, just as he did in Game 1 of the World Series last October against the Tigers.
"Well, that brings back a good memory," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said afterward.
"Definitely had flashbacks," said starting pitcher Tim Lincecum.
Sandoval wasn't the only one who broke out. Brandon Crawford, Hunter Pence and Hector Sanchez all homered, too, as the Giants hit six home runs for the first time since Sept. 18, 2011, in Colorado. In doing so, the Giants also became the first team in Petco Park history to hit six long balls in a game.
No one was quicker to point out the all-around effort than Sandoval.
"That was a great game from every guy on the team, up and down," Sandoval said. "We struggled yesterday to drive the guys in and do our job, so today we came with a renewed approach."
The Giants may have discovered the cure for their situational hitting woes: just mash the ball out of the yard before things begin to get dicey on the bases.
Squandered opportunities littered the first two games of the series -- both Giants losses -- and before Wednesday's contest, Bochy lamented his club's situational hitting. Through four innings, the Giants hadn't put a man in scoring position, but had quickly grabbed a 5-2 lead.
"That's what power will do for you," Bochy said. "You don't have to hit with runners in scoring position if you hit it out of the ballpark."
Crawford got the home run derby started with his ninth of the season, a leadoff shot in the top of the third inning. He picked a conspicuous spot on the dugout bench afterward -- right next to Sandoval.
"He got me fired [up] a little bit," Sandoval said. "We were sitting down; he asked me how many home runs I got. I say, 10, and he was like, I've got nine, I've got your back."
The way Crawford tells it, the makings of Wednesday's back-and-forth began in April, when Crawford got off to a hot start and had more home runs than Sandoval, who replied by telling Crawford to wait until September.
"It's September; I'm only one behind you," Crawford told Sandoval on Wednesday afternoon.
"He said, 'Just wait,' and then he hit three more home runs," Crawford said, with a wry smile.
Maybe the only person in the Giants clubhouse who wasn't smiling after the slugfest was Lincecum, who was making his first start at Petco Park since his July 13 no-hitter.
The veteran right-hander lasted 5 2/3 innings and allowed five runs on seven hits. He gave up a run in the first on a passed ball and another in the second on a Ronny Cedeno long ball, before the Giants responded with eight unanswered runs.
"When you get [the lead] back like that, that should be a springboard to motivate you to do better," Lincecum said. "I didn't take advantage of that lead the way I wanted to."
Lincecum was at his best in the bottom of the first inning after the Padres had scored their first run. With the bases loaded and one out, he fanned Nick Hundley and Reymond Fuentes, making certain the game didn't spiral.
"I think I just focused a little bit more on those pitches and just knew what I had to throw them," Lincecum said. "It was nice to get out of that inning. Other than that, if you look at the whole game as a whole, I didn't do very well. Too many walks, too many fallen-behind counts."
But Lincecum was given all the run support he needed to earn his ninth win. The floodgates opened in the fourth, when Pence crushed a slow curveball from Eric Stults into the left-field seats, and Sanchez deposited a hanging slider into the Giants' bullpen. Both were two-run shots, as was Sandoval's sky-high bomb an inning later.
"We've seen Sandoval since he came into the National League," said Padres manager Bud Black. "When he's hot, he's hot. He can hit any pitch."
Sandoval hit his second homer in the eighth and his third in the ninth -- both opposite-field shots.
The Giants as whole broke out for 17 hits, and their six homers marked the first time they had hit five or more outside of hitter-friendly Coors Field since 2006.
"I think we were all asking, 'Where has that been?'" Bochy said. "It was good to see them break out."

Hey guys, when I try and launch Majora's Mask in 1964 from the command line I use:
When it first launches and the Nintendo logo shows, it displays fine, but once it moves on to the screen where the mask flies at you, everything is stretched horizontally in such a way that only half the image is off screen, while the portion that is visible is, like I said, horribly stretched.Code:1964.exe -f -g "..\Legend of Zelda, The - Majora's Mask (USA).n64"
Hitting Esc to go to windowed, and then returning it to fullscreen manually fixes the issue, but I don't want to have to do this as I'm doing this so I can have a clean launch from Steam like any other game on my system.
Hopefully somebody here knows a solution or automatic workaround. Would really appreciate some help.
The issue doesn't seem to occur in Perfect Dark, at least not the Japanese version.

Timing crucial in maximising super benefits
AT THE heart of the new superannuation system was a simplification of the components of a person's benefits. The many different types of super were reduced to just two, taxable and tax-free benefits. As a result of changes to marginal tax rates for the 2013 year, some people will be paying more tax on their super benefits received.
AT THE heart of the new superannuation system was a simplification of the components of a person's benefits. The many different types of super were reduced to just two, taxable and tax-free benefits. As a result of changes to marginal tax rates for the 2013 year, some people will be paying more tax on their super benefits received.Taxable benefits are made up of concessional contributions and income added to a member's account. Concessional contributions are those that have resulted in a tax deduction and for most people will be the compulsory employer super guarantee contributions. They also include tax-deductible contributions made by individuals classed as self-employed.The tax treatment of taxable benefits differs depending on when the benefits are received, how the benefits are paid, and who they are paid to. Anyone who is 60 or older pays no income tax on their taxable lump sum or pension benefits received. Taxable benefits paid out on the death of a member to non-dependants are taxed at 15 per cent.When taxable benefits are paid as a lump sum to someone under 60 no tax is payable for the 2013 financial year up to maximum of $175,000. Lump sum payments in excess of this are taxed at 15 per cent.Taxable benefits received as a pension for someone under 60 are taxed at the applicable marginal tax rate but receive a 15 per cent tax offset. Up until June 30, 2012 this meant most people under 60 receiving taxable super pension benefits paid no income tax where their taxable income did not exceed $37,000. On taxable income of between $37,000 and $80,000, tax was effectively paid at 15 per cent.With new tax rates applying from July 1, 2012, someone under 60 receiving taxable super pension payments can pay tax, after taking account of the 15 per cent tax offset, of 4 per cent up to a total taxable income of $37,000, and 17.5 per cent on taxable income of between $37,000 and $80,000.For most people tax-free super benefits are made up of only non-concessional super contributions. These are contributions made from tax-paid money and were once called undeducted contributions. A small number of people can also have tax-free super benefits made up of small business retirement exemption contributions.The value of tax-free benefits can only increase with new contributions and are decreased by lump sum or pension payments. Tax-free super benefits are not taxable whether they are received as a lump sum or a pension, no matter the age of the person receiving them. Tax-free benefits paid to non-dependants upon the death of a member are also not taxable.Once a pension is started in a super fund the percentage value of tax-free and taxable benefits are locked in for the life of that pension. Timing can therefore be important for making non-concessional contributions and starting a super pension.When someone is eligible to receive either an account-based pension or a transition-to-retirement pension, and they also have the ability to make a large non-concessional contribution, it makes sense to commence the pension from taxable benefits first and then make the non-concessional contribution.Once the non-concessional contribution has been made, another pension can be commenced from the tax-free benefits. Over time minimum payments would be taken from the 100 per cent tax-free pension with the balance coming from the taxable pension. This will mean tax payable by non-dependent beneficiaries upon the death of a member will be minimised.

A Nebraska man who is accused of killing a young woman he met on Tinder attempted to cut his own throat in the middle of his murder trial. 52-year-old Aubrey Trail tried to exonerate his alleged accomplice, Bailey Boswell, as he swiped what was possibly a razor blade across his throat.
"Bailey is innocent, and I curse you all," Trail screamed after a witness was sworn in.
Trail fell out of his wheelchair and was taken to the hospital. He was given a few stitches and released.
Judge Vicky Johnson ordered that Trail must be handcuffed for the remainder of his murder trial. The trial was adjourned for the day and is expected to resume on Tuesday (June 25) morning.
Judge Johnson instructed the jury to disregard what happened in the courtroom.
"It's asking a lot of you, but disregard anything you hear or see," Johnson said. "Don't listen to or engage with anybody talking about the case."

A quick note — more of an observation, really, or a re-directing of attention, but I was looking at my blog reader today and found a wonderful thematic coincidence on the Art Asia Pacific blog and Granta. Today, Art Asia Pacific reflected on Global Art Forum 6, remarking in particular:
There's something about the immediacy and urgency of writing against the present that can be panic-inducing; paralyzing even.Â
It feels as if we should be quicker than we are. We should be able to respond more efficiently. It should be easier by now. Our brain's functionality should be in sync with the latest social media apps on our Blackberrys, tablets and Mac books—so that we can not only multitask, "double-screen†and consume information (both virtual and real) at the rate of several giga-Hertz per second—but also analyze it, digest it and produce a meaningful reaction to it immediately. Except that's not exactly how our cerebral cortex works; there is a lot more complexity involved—and maybe there is a saving grace in that somewhere.Â
The pressure to keep up with, and contextualize the arts within, the most up-to-date socio-political happenings was cited and critiqued at the recent discussion series, Global Art Forum_6. Part of the titan that has become Art Dubai and its collateral programming, this year's forum was titled "The Medium of Media,†and for this second installment writers Rayya Badran, Rijin Sahakian, Shahira Issa and myself were invited as "forum fellows†to reflect on issues in the fair. Art critic and forum fellows mentor Kaelen Wilson-Goldie talked about an almost expected reflex to situate art within contemporary politics (or politics within contemporary art), with particular reference to Lebanon and Syria. Such a reflex has been intensified by two things in recent times: the conflicts and uprisings of the Arab Spring, and the penetrating and shifting role of instant online media in news reportage.
The post goes on to question the capacity of art to respond, quickly and critically on its own contemporary times, particularly when our times are mediated at such a rapid pace. Author Jyoti Dhar suggests that perhaps art's function is to slow us down, to demand a pause.
Seemingly to that point, Granta posted an article by Mishka Henner about the censorship of google earth — particularly in regards to the Dutch government:
When Google introduced its free satellite imagery service to the world in 2005, views of our planet previously accessible only to astronauts and professional surveyors were suddenly available to anyone with an internet connection. Yet the vistas revealed by this technology were not universally embraced.
Governments concerned about the sudden visibility of political, economic and military locations exerted considerable influence on suppliers of this imagery to censor sites deemed vital to national security. This form of censorship continues today, and techniques vary from country to country with preferred methods generally including use of digital cloning, blurring, pixelization and whitening out sites of interest.
Surprisingly, one of the most vociferous of all governments to enforce this form of censorship were the Dutch, hiding hundreds of significant sites including royal palaces, fuel depots and army barracks throughout their relatively small country. The Dutch method of censorship is notable for its stylistic inventiveness compared to other countries: imposing bold, multi-coloured polygons over sites rather than the subtler and more standard techniques employed elsewhere. The result is a landscape occasionally punctuated by sharp aesthetic contrasts between secret sites and the rural and urban environments surrounding them.
There is something so stunning about these images (there are more on Granta's site) — seemingly crude and colorful, as in a decorative obliteration: A kind of purposeful withholding. But it creates a pause, demanding time from the viewer as it presents something unexpected. It looks like a painting in gouache!

Benitez little helpers
il 24 December 2012
After three consecutive draws at Stamford Bridge, Rafa Benitez got his first Premier League win at home since taking charge at Chelsea as his side gave Aston Villa a pre-Christmas stuffing on Sunday.
Fernando Torres, David Luiz, Branislav Ivanovic, Frank Lampard, Ramires, Oscar and Eden Hazard all got on the scoresheet in the rout to give Chelsea fans a sprinkling of festive joy following their Club World Cup final defeat earlier this month.
Benitez's side are now 11 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester United with a game in hand, and will be looking to close the gap over the busy Christmas schedule.

Here's a shocking fact I've learned from 25-plus years of security consulting: Most security projects fail to improve the safety of the organizations launching them. Security will be compromised as frequently after the project as before.
To put it bluntly, most computer security projects are a waste of time and money.
[ Here's a devious new tactic put in play by cyber criminals: TDoS attacks that tie up emergency phone lines | Learn how to secure your systems with the Web Browser Deep Dive PDF special report and Security Central newsletter, both from InfoWorld. ]
One reason for this dysfunction is that organizations launch way too many projects with woefully unrealistic expectations about their impact and the level of effort required to do them right. The fact is if all companies did a better job at just two defenses, their companies would be far better protected than if they were to complete the dozen-odd projects they're attempting to pull off.
In many cases, the two defenses I recommend are inexpensive or even free. They don't require multi-million-dollar projects dragged out for more than a year. They don't demand cutting-edge solutions. They simply require that organizations do a better job at two things they've been told to do for decades. And guess what? They work.
Stop users from executing malicious programs
Most computers are compromised because users launch malicious programs. It's that simple. That's why application control is the single best thing you can do to improve computer security in your company.
The classic example is the fake virus alert, which prompts the user to install antivirus software that's actually malware. But of course this ploy extends to other "apps" purporting some benefit, from games to Windows utilities that are actually malware or spyware. The classic email attachment ruse still finds suckers who blithely double-click on malware pretending to be everything from an invoice to a video of the Zumba lady.
Serious, mandatory training for end-users helps a lot, but you can never prevent all users from launching this stuff all the time. The most secure way to stop users from executing malicious programs is to deploy an application control or whitelisting program. I've talked a lot about the benefits of application control programs and even did a comparative review a few years ago. I've worked with most of them, and they've all improved over time.
Yet in many cases senior management will not back strict application control. I understand that. I know the challenges -- particularly with the abundance of new downloadable apps, particularly mobile ones, which carry real user productivity benefits. But understand that not implementing strict application control means you will not be able to reduce malicious risk in your environment beyond a certain point.
A less stringent approach is to enable users to download and install programs only from trusted application stores that ensure the security of their applications. Programs from trusted stores are sometimes found to be vulnerable to hacking or to have privacy issues. By and large, those are the exceptions; when caught, they are immediately removed and eradicated. Plus, most apps downloaded from application stores are automatically updated when security issues are discovered and patched. That's great for everyone.
